 What the hell?? This instructable has like almost the exact same recipe except mine doesn't use vegetable oil and it looks a lot better the way I cook it.

Do not  HAVE to use eggs.  Just add a little more fluid to equal the egg.  Add a little vanilla.  yumm

How many does this recipe make

[death192333]

The pancakes tasted great. I added vavnilla extract, and this improved the flavor in my opinion. You might want to add how many pancakes this recipe makes though. All in all, a great breakfast recipe.

yummy, just made some and found out i had no syrup

[orbitup]

I don't use butter or oil and I add vanilla and cinnamon. Yummy!
And having a griddle is nice too.

[seeyes22]

Sounds good.  HOT griddle is great.  Really rich.  Cream or half and half.  Fresh eggs are aslo awesome.

We often make pancakes from scratch in a blender.  We like to improvise.  We add half of a ripe banana near the end and run the blender until the banana is "liquefied."   Then we add about 1/2 cup of English walnuts and run the blender until they are moderately to finely chopped, but not made into a paste.  When ready to eat, put on some butter and some hot maple-flavored syrup.  They taste like fresh banana nut bread.

 I prefer to add the butter right after this stage, right into the flour mixture.  This will encapsulate the flour in the butter resulting in less milk needing to be added to thin out the batter.  It's the same method used for making biscuits from scratch.

[Computothought]

I usually do not add sugar, there is enough sweetness in the syrup.

1 1/4 cup flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking powder...
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cooking oil
pinch of salt

Stir a few times till it is mostly together. No blender needed. Should be a wet mixture.

 I wish this Instructable was complete; under "Things You'll Need" eggs are nowhere to be seen. Yet the actual instructions call for an egg. If the list had been complete, "egg" would have been seen in the RSS feed, and I never would have clicked the link.
Please try to not forget ingredients in your next instructable. Thank you.
I do like your pictures though.
